      Ox Fortunes in the Year of the Dragon

      Dragon years are bold and dynamic and Oxen are often uncomfortable with their heady pace. This will not necessarily be an easy time, but, despite its frustrations, Oxen can take quiet satisfaction in their achievements.

      At work there will be challenges and some disappointments. New developments are likely to have an impact and may leave Oxen feeling they are not given the credit they are due. Some may find new objectives or ways of working difficult and situations may not be made any easier by office politics. However, the Ox philosophy is one of fortitude and patience and in time situations will settle. Oxen will have gained new experience in the process and often fresh insights into their own capabilities. Some of the year can be illuminating and suggest possible options (and career paths) for the future.

      While many Oxen will remain with their present employer, for those seeking change or looking for work, the Dragon year can open up some interesting possibilities. Although their quest will not be easy, Oxen may find themselves being offered a position that develops their skills in new ways. Chance may well play a part in this and the speed of developments may take Oxen by surprise.

      They will need to keep paperwork in good order, however, as they may find themselves troubled by bureaucracy over the year. A lost policy or document could cause problems and financial forms need to be attended to carefully.

      Oxen should also remain disciplined in money matters. They could face some repair costs this year or find some activities more expensive than anticipated. This is very much a time for discipline and control.

      However, while the Dragon year has its awkward aspects, Oxen can benefit from the very good and loyal friends they have. If ever they are uncertain or grappling with an issue, talking matters over with someone they trust could be helpful in many important ways. This year many Oxen will find that a problem shared is a problem considerably eased.

      With Dragon years invariably being active ones, Oxen should also follow up the social invitations they receive as well as go to events that appeal to them. Contact with others can be good for Oxen, as can making new friends and participating in some of what the Dragon year offers.

      Home life will also see much activity and there will need to be good cooperation and flexibility as schedules change. Oxen are good organizers, however, and their talents will be appreciated, although when under pressure or annoyed, they should exercise patience and watch what is said. But amid the activity there will be individual successes and occasions that Oxen and their loved ones will especially appreciate, particularly in view of the effort involved.

      With the demands of the year, Oxen should also give some consideration to their own well-being, as well as allow themselves a respite from all the activity. Time set aside to enjoy personal interests can be of especial benefit. In some cases, new equipment or input from others could encourage them to do more or try something different. It is important that they embrace the spirit of the year and are open to possibilities.

      If possible, they should also take a holiday during the year. Many of them will appreciate the new places they visit.

      The Chinese proverb, ‘Slow and steady wins the race’ is often apt for Oxen and is very true in the Dragon year. Progress will not be easy and some situations will be exasperating, but through tenacity and application, Oxen can add to their experience as well as gain important insights into themselves, and what they learn now can be built on in the following Snake year. In the Dragon year the support of others will be of particular value and Oxen will be helped by being forthcoming, as well as by participating in what is going on around them. This is a time for them to adapt, learn and, in the process, prepare themselves for the opportunities that await. A challenging year but an illuminating one.

      Tips for the Year

      Tread carefully. Times may not be easy, but they can be instructive. Watch developments closely and value your relations with others. Their support can help and shared activities can be of benefit. In addition, when pressures are great or situations concerning, proceed carefully. An outburst or words said in haste could be regretted later.

      Ox Fortunes in the Year of the Snake

      Deep thinking, quiet and methodical, Oxen have a lot in common with Snakes and can do well in the Snake year. Rather than feel buffeted by events, they can now proceed in their own way and with much in their favour. Encouragingly, they will be able to build on recent experience and see their patience and fortitude paying off. The successes so many will enjoy this year will be well deserved.

      At work, the accent is on progress and Oxen will be well prepared to take advantage of opportunities. Oxen are quietly ambitious and tend to know in themselves when the time is right to advance. Now will be such a time. Accordingly, many Oxen will keep alert for openings and quite a few will take on a greater and often more specialist role СКАЧАТЬ
